WATCH: Kerry Washington Gets In On ‘Black Wife Effect’ Trend With Scandal Co-star Tony Goldwyn

If you’re as obsessed with Black TikTok as we are, you’ve definitely heard about The Black Wife Effect, the viral trend that has Black women showing off the results of their efforts to turn their white husbands from geek to glam. These amazing transformations have already received millions of views, and now one megastar is getting in on the act with a hilarious through the years look at her on-screen love.

Actress Kerry Washington just shared a TikTok tribute to her “Scandal” costar Tony Goldwyn’s glow-up, posting photos of his roles before he landed the job of President Fitzgerald Grant and her character Olivia Pope’s boyfriend on the ABC mega-hit from 2012 to 2018.

Washington’s post includes pics of Goldwyn’s transformation from previous big and small screen roles, including “St. Elsewhere,” “Ghost” and as the voice of Tarzan in the eponymous 1999 animated film. Goldwyn looked a little rough around the edges in comparison to his role as the stylish leader of the free world in the Shonda Rhimes series.

As you can probably imagine, Washington’s post had “Scandal” fans going crazy at all of the delicious messiness she stirred up. The comment section was flooded with folks who found themselves getting nostalgic thinking about Olivia and Fitz’s scandalous relationship; comments included, “The scream I scrumpt when I saw who posted this 🤣🤣🤣🤣,” and “When you found your soul mate but you’re both married 😭🤣.”

Of course there were those wondering if Washington’s post was a sign that there might be a little sumthin’ sumthin’ going on between the stars in real life.

“Lmaooo now Kerry, if I was his wife I’d be home clutching my pearls right now 😂😭,” and “Kerry girl… just come clean , we won’t judge you!! That’s your man 😩🤭 ain’t it?!?! 😂😂,” one wrote.

“At this point we (the internet) and your spouses just waiting for y’all to make it official 😭😭😂,” wrote another

But this commenter wins the day, saying exactly what “Scandal” fans everywhere are thinking: “I’m taking this as confirmation that Liv and Fitz got married and are living in Vermont #Olitz”
